I’ve been trying to clean for a week, yesterday and today I’ve spent actually making some headway. My grandma is coming to town so I’m trying to spruce up the place! Not very exciting for the fleeting weekends of the summer, so I thought I’d live vicariously through you all!
P.S. you can’t clean without music: Sorry for the YouTube link but I’ve been unable to use the alternatives recently
Painting some minis mostly (technically just dry brushing today, there’s too many for more). They’re for some sessions of One Page Rules that my buddies and I are getting into.
And planning tomorrow’s DND session though I fully expect it to go like the last 2 sessions; sessions that should have been delayed as one player was in condition to play both times. (Once for getting too drunk the day before and once for having a kidney stone kicking their ass)
Here’s a pic of one of the dudes I finished dry brushing before this current little break.

That’s super cool! I enjoy DnD from the outside (movies, games, concepts) but I’ve never really participated myself. My friend recently asked me to create a character, I’ve been thinking to play something like a Vash the Stampede type personality and, to get a feel for the game, go for perception and try to inspect as much as I can.
I also love the idea of minifig painting! Something I’ve always wanted to do that’s similar is finding toys and figurines to resculpt and paint. Turning Iron Man into a WarHammer type sort of thing lol.
He looks great!!
DND can be really fun with the right people and playing with friends definitely stacks it in the way of fun potential
In terms of mini painting I really dig it, it’s so relaxing to just sit down and paint a mini
Making minis both physically and digitally is also really fun though I don’t do it very often. Most of the 3D modeling I do is CAD stuff but I’ve been dipping my toes back into Blender lately. I don’t currently have any models I’ve made in Blender I want to show off but that’s usually how I tackle any creative endeavor; I spend a few weeks exclusivley doing internal feedback, then a few months to a year with some external feedback from a very limited group, then after that I’ll show stuff publically. That way I can learn and have fun without worrying about people sucking the fun out of it before I can grow into it.
Edit: But the best way to start a new creative endeavor into a process is to just do it. Make mistakes, fail, learn. But most importantly: have fun.
Definitely! He’s also a very relaxed DM, if I wanted to I could find some silly ridiculous class - my other friend will be playing an enslaved dragon tamer that he found online for example.
Honestly, the main reason I never got into it is that I already have so many hobbies that adding even more has always been a balancing act of “how interesting in this am I really?” It’s different for a group of friends though, so I’m happy to be part of this one even if I wasn’t as interested in the past.
